Thanks everyone for your replies. The thing is, we're not teenagers anymore.. we're in college, and I think many people change when they are growing up. I'm heartbroken, it's as if she renounced herself from Islam. I never expected this from her, and last night when I tried to talk to her on msn, she acted as if it wasn't a big deal, as if everything she did previously for Islam was a joke. I told her about how she was passionate about hijab before, when she even gave me link about articles that encourage Hijab. We both know very well about the importance of hijab and she knows even more than me because she reads and researches more about these things. What she told me, just like what many women without hijab tell everyone.. (I also read many members here telling the same reasons) like it's not in the quran.. n stuff She said she wants to be Muslim but she also wants to be free.. I know from the way she said it shes made her mind about it and there's nothing I can do about it... and I suddenly became very hurt and sad that I just don't see her as my best friend anymore, I can act as if I'm fine with it but it's just too painful.. I keep looking back to the time when I looked up to her... thinking I wanted to be like her, so devoted to religion.. so passionate... and smart... and now this.. I hate what she's doing to herself.. I hate it that she blatantly disobeying God and yet be proud about it... :cry: :cry:
